About this product

Overview

Cyclodex 20mg Tablet contains Piroxicam-Beta-Cyclodextrin as its active ingredient, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Piroxicam-Beta-Cyclodextrin is a complex formed between piroxicam, a traditional NSAID, and beta-cyclodextrin, a cyclic oligosaccharide. This complex enhances the solubility and bioavailability of piroxicam, leading to improved therapeutic efficacy and reduced gastrointestinal side effects compared to conventional piroxicam formulations.

Uses

Cyclodex 20mg Tablet is prescribed for:

  • Pain Relief: Effective in relieving pain associated with various conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and musculoskeletal disorders.
  • Inflammation Reduction: Helps reduce inflammation and swelling, particularly in joints affected by arthritis.
  • Fever Reduction: Can be used to reduce fever in conditions such as infections or inflammatory disorders.

Side Effects

While Cyclodex 20mg Tablet is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as:

  • Gastrointestinal disturbances like indigestion, stomach pain, or nausea.
  • Headache, dizziness, or drowsiness.
  • Skin rash or itching.
  • Fluid retention and swelling.
  • Increased blood pressure or kidney function abnormalities.
  • Rarely, gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, particularly with prolonged use.

Precautions

Before taking Cyclodex 20mg Tablet, consider the following precautions:

  • Medical History: Inform your doctor if you have a history of gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disease, kidney problems, or asthma.
  • Medication Interactions: Piroxicam-Beta-Cyclodextrin can interact with other medications, including other NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and certain blood pressure medications.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Avoid use during late pregnancy as it may harm the unborn baby. Use under medical supervision during early pregnancy and avoid during breastfeeding.
  • Elderly Patients: Increased risk of side effects, particularly gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers, in elderly patients.

  • Are allergic to piroxicam, beta-cyclodextrin, or any other ingredients in the tablet.
